WATCH: Far-Left Parkland Activists Make New Absurd Claims On CNN
president reassured the NRA today that he's on their side he spoke at their
annual meeting today the first time he's addressed the group since the shooting
at a parkland Florida high school left 17 people dead in a moment we're gonna
talk to two of the student survivors but first let's remember after the shooting
what the president promised promised to get tough possibly expanding background
checks and raising the minimum age for buying certain types of rifles it
doesn't make sense that I have to wait till I'm 21 to get a handgun but I can
get this weapon at 18 I don't know so I just curious as to what you did in your
bill you know we didn't address in this president but I think because you're
afraid of the NRA well fast forward to today here's what the president said at
the NRA convention in Dallas Democrats and liberals and cars one of disarmed
law-abiding Americans at the same time they're releasing dangerous criminal
aliens and savage gang members onto our streets your Second Amendment rights are
under siege but they will never ever be under siege as long as I'm the oppressor
well no mention of those changes he had once called for after the shooting
here's what he said about parkland we're working to improve early warning systems
so that when the police are called when the community sees the red flag which
they saw in parkland all over the place there has never been a case where more
red flags have been shown swift action is taken by the authorities I recently
signed legislation that includes more than two billion dollars to improve
school safety including the funding for training and metal detectors and
security and mental health mental health is a big one they don't like to talk
about mental health mental health that was the number one example
ha enjoy now Stoneman Douglas high school students David Hogg and Cameron
cascade thanks for being with us so Cameron we heard from the president
shortly after the shooting at your that the high school obviously he struck a
very different tone than he did today back then I talked to you you thought he
was heading in the right direction when it came to gun control what do you think
today well you know he was saying some things that implied that he was stepping
forward into the right direction for gun safety in this country and then he had a
meeting with some NRA officials of a private meeting and afterwards he came
and claimed that the Second Amendment was under siege and he was going to
defend it so as to whether or not the NRA meeting changed his views that's
kind of up to speculation but I will tell you that is hopefully the first
Russian funded group he has met with and I would like to say I think it really
shows what he's doing right now proved her his heart and his wallet are and
that's in the exact same place one of the interesting things I thought Trump
brought up was how we don't talk about mental health yet in one of the recent
spending bills that they had they cut mental health funding for schools by
over twenty five million dollars that doesn't sound like improving the mental
health care system for schools to me Cameron you know when the president was
in that meeting with Democrats and Republicans he castigated some
Republicans saying you know you're scared you're scared of the NRA do you
believe today he showed that he is scared of the NRA I think he is very
interested in the money that the NRA will bring him and that the NRA in turn
gets from gun manufacturers you know the gun the NRA used to boast itself as
being an average Joe Coalition of Americans who are trying to protect
their Second Amendment rights and now you'll see that they are getting a lot
of kickbacks from gun manufacturers so I don't necessarily think Trump is scared
of the NRA I think Trump is very enamored with the financial support that
the NRA gives him I think the people in this situation that are really scared
would be the NRA this is the first time that they've had the president and the
vice president the same time come out to the annual convention for the NRA and I
think what they're seeing here is like they're very worried because of the
support that we've been getting and the support that we're gonna have in
midterms because we like it or not we don't care if you're a Democrat or
Republican if you're supported by the NRA you
stand with the kids you stand with the gun manufacturers and the people that
are trying to make money off this fear and tragedy that is perpetuating itself
and David that's where your focus is now there was a lot of you know concern I
think among you know supporters of of gun safety of gun control and people who
are at the March that after the March that sort of interest would wane your
focus is on midterms is that right exactly and right now what we're trying
to do we have the ambitious goal of getting 90% of high schoolers registered
to vote by June and that's a big goal that we have set out but I think it's
something that we can do there's over 26,000 high schools across America and
we need every one of them to sign up through headcount to create their own
voter registration drive to make sure that kids can get out and vote read
those are their opinions just make sure I think one thing that we can all
support here on both sides of the aisle as Americans is more voter participation
because right now 18 percent of I think it's 18 to 24 year-olds participate in
midterm elections and that's unacceptable and the thing is this is
just simply about doing your civic duty and voting and we can get a lot of
people registered to vote but the thing is they don't show up at the polls when
they need to so another thing we're focusing on is
making voting more accessible easier and making sure people are more educated
with their vote making sure that they use the resources that we can so easily
access to know who they're voting for to follow the money to follow everything
that their candidate is doing and have an educated and effective vote to make
sure that we're going in the right direction well Cameron kaske David Hawk
